Okay my car is burning oil which it's using about 1/2 a qt per tank of gas which doesn't bug me it's the dang smoking thats bugging me.
Does that smoke stop you put into your oil really help with that? my goal is to try to make it through the summer on this engine then when it's cold i'll rebuild the motor.
Also i can get a different engine from the junk yard for around a 800 to a grand with 75K miles on it.
Would it be cheaper to do this or rebuild the one i have.
What will parts run me to build this engine?
One last question.
When the motor gets into the higher RPM band around 4500 to 6 it makes a sound that kind sounds like moving air when the valves start leaking do they make this sound?
i know it's not the intake from the air box because my last Eclipse never made this sound. just wondering if my oil burning is because i have lose valves.
just trying to milk the life out of the motor for now.
Thanks in advance for the help
